About the “The 2nd Birth” Project by RUSHABH FOUNDATION

The 2nd Birth" who works in the area which is much ignored by all society, the TRIBAL (ADIVASI) area of Maharashtra.  NGO is working for Underprivileged Tribal Upliftment in Palghar District which is close to Mumbai yet very deprived in all facets of life, be it Education, Health, Income, Safe housing & livelihood.

The founder Mahendra Vanigota, who Retired at the age 40 in 2020 (closed his 9 business centres across India in IT industry) and shifted to Tribal area to help the Underprivileged Adivasi Tribal. He has helped tens of Government schools with necessary items to help kids for a better schooling experience. He found that the problem is bigger & deeper than it seems in tribal areas and founded the Project named “The 2nd Birth” and started a MISSION #Zero School Drop Out.

The NGO is not only trying to bring children back to school but also focusing on putting strong remedial learning initiatives in place to ensure retention and continuity of learning. The Founder chalked out an 8 path program to counter the challenge of this massive dropout because of reason like poverty, lack of quality education, poor infrastructure, distance of school, illiteracy of their parent, gender inequality & lack of sense of belongingness.

4. CYCLE LIBRARY - Providing cycle to each student of class 6th and above for daily travel to the school which is minimum 9.8 KM away (one way walking distance) 

5. TEACHERS TRAINING - Our early dropout warning system enables school to identify students who are at risk of dropping out and then teacher focus on individuals who struggle to perform well

A higher secondary educated child can be fitted well in all spaces of earning; his employability chances multiply. Also bringing health awareness into the society needs moderate education. Every village with 100% literacy will make them prosper in all kind of development be it social, environmental, political, financial or health.
